Determining rangeland brush canopy densities with Landsat MSS data.

Landsat multispectral scanner digital data was evaluated for use in determining brush canopy densities. A Landsat digital data simulation model was utilized to determine vegetation index sensitivity to changes in brush canopy density, soil background type and amount, and grass cover. The Landsat dig...
